About This Program
Storytellers Impact Incubator is a first-of-its-kind 10-day journey through Israel, bringing together a handpicked global cohort of 40 Jewish creatives, changemakers, community-organizers and policy activists across fields who are building influence using digital mediums.
This fully subsidized journey is an active incubator that blends an immersive adventure through Israel’s geopolitical landscape and vibrant culture with hands-on skill-building in storytelling and content creation. The incubator is a space to push creative boundaries, take calculated risks and collaborate with visionary peers.
Guided by world-class experts, you will explore the question, “How can I expand my influence while embracing my Jewish identity?” Each day of the trip, you will be implementing what you learn with opportunities to co-create and experiment.
This moment - a mirror to our past, present and future - calls forth fearless, creative and bold leaders. If you are ready to join this movement, you are invited to apply to our inaugural Storytellers journey.
